Chapter 2521: Can’t Afford to Offend
"Is that the Clan Chief of the Carnell Family?"
Wyatt Barnes glanced indifferently at Dar, the Carnell Family Clan Chief, who was being held as if he were trash, and spoke calmly: "Now, you can continue to give orders..."
"Perfect... I also want to witness the power of these disaster-level battleships!"
As he spoke, Wyatt slightly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the remaining seventeen disaster-level battleships.
Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, not only did Dar’s expression turn extremely grim, but even all the high-ranking members of the Carnell Family who heard it through projection had equally grim looks.
"Can anyone tell me... who exactly is this cultivator?"
"The strength of this cultivator is definitely above the ’Four Calamity Scattered Immortal’! It’s impossible for a Three Calamity Scattered Immortal to emerge unscathed after such an explosion!"
"How did our Carnell Family provoke such a terrifying entity? You know, even among the dozens of galaxies surrounding our Casster Galaxy, beings above a ’Four Calamity Scattered Immortal’ are rare."
"We have records of the ’Four Calamity Scattered Immortals’ in the dozens of galaxies around our Casster Galaxy... but this person is not among them!"
"If this person were one of the ’Four Calamity Scattered Immortals’ marked in our Carnell Family records, we would never be his enemy, let alone send disaster-level battleships to assassinate him!"
...
At this moment, the group of high-ranking members of the Carnell Family realized they had hit a ’brick wall’.
The purple-robed young man, resembling a ’God of War’ in the projection, was at least a top-tier ’Four Calamity Scattered Immortal’, possibly even stronger!
"Even if he’s merely a ’Four Calamity Scattered Immortal’, he could effortlessly retreat unharmed under the siege of our Carnell Family’s seventeen disaster-level battleships, perhaps only slightly injured... Trying to kill him, on the other hand, is fundamentally impossible!"
"If he is a ’Five Calamity Scattered Immortal’... our Carnell Family’s seventeen disaster-level battleships might only lightly injure him, and he could easily destroy all seventeen ships at the cost of some injury!"
"This person is someone the Carnell Family must not provoke!"
...
Apart from Dar, the Clan Chief caught by Wyatt, the highest members of the Carnell Family quickly convened an emergency meeting using communication tools.
In the end, they reached a consensus:
This purple-robed young man must not be provoked!
"Today, if our Carnell Family can escape this calamity... I will retire and no longer intervene in clan affairs."
After the emergency meeting concluded, the Grand Elder of the Carnell Family made this heavy-hearted statement.
After all, it was originally he who proposed openly assassinating the two cultivators.
He bore a significant responsibility.
"Clan Chief, the result of the family emergency meeting... This purple-robed young man is at least a top-tier ’Four Calamity Scattered Immortal’, potentially even stronger. He cannot be provoked!"
"At any cost, we must earn his forgiveness!"
Soon, the chip implant within Carnell Family Clan Chief Dar received the transmitted information from the family.
"At least a top-tier ’Four Calamity Scattered Immortal’?"
After receiving the information, Dar’s heart trembled violently.
He naturally understood the implications.
A top-tier ’Four Calamity Scattered Immortal’, despite not being able to withstand direct confrontation with their Carnell Family’s seventeen disaster-level battleships, could certainly retreat safely...
A being of that level who manages to retreat intact spells a catastrophic disaster for the Carnell Family!
As for a being above the ’Four Calamity Scattered Immortal’, even a Five Calamity Scattered Immortal can sufficiently confront their Carnell Family’s seventeen disaster-level battleships, perhaps even demolish all seventeen battleships at the cost of minor injury!
So, it’s imperative that the Carnell Family does not provoke the purple-robed young man, whether he is a ’Four Calamity Scattered Immortal’ or even stronger!
"Sir, I admit defeat, the Carnell Family admits defeat!"
Taking a deep breath, Dar lowered his proudly-held head as the Clan Chief of the Carnell Family.
"Admit defeat?"
Upon hearing Dar’s words, Wyatt furrowed his brows slightly, "According to your statement... you’re not planning to order these seventeen disaster-level battleships to open fire on me anymore?"
"I dare not, I dare not..."
Dar lowered his head further, his face filled with anxiety and unease.
Reflecting on his actions earlier, his heart was full of regret...
However, there’s no medicine for regret in this world, so he can only minimize the Carnell Family’s losses.
For this, even if he must disgrace himself before everyone in the Casster Galaxy, he accepts it.
"What... What’s going on?"
"The Carnell Family Clan Chief... has surrendered?"
...
At that time, everyone from the Casster Galaxy watching the live broadcast via projection was also shocked.
What a joke!
That is the Carnell Family...
The Carnell Family, one of the three strongest forces in the Casster Galaxy, typically behaves arrogantly across the region.
Moreover, across the dozens of galaxies surrounding the Casster Galaxy, there’s hardly a force that dares challenge the Carnell Family easily...
Yet today, the distinguished Carnell Family Clan Chief actually bowed before a cultivator!
"This surrender by the Carnell Family Clan Chief represents the entire Carnell Family’s surrender..."
"It seems the Carnell Family doesn’t want to provoke this purple-clad youth!"
"That’s understandable... Did you not see the power this purple-clad youth just displayed? Such power isn’t something a ’Three Tribulation Scattered Immortal’ could possess! Only those above ’Four Tribulation Scattered Immortal’ could have such immense power."
"So, this means... this purple-clad youth’s cultivation strength is at least above ’Four Tribulation Scattered Immortal’?"
"If that’s the case, then everything makes sense. In the presence of someone above a Four Tribulation Scattered Immortal, the Carnell Family truly wouldn’t dare to act recklessly!"
...
The people of the Casster Galaxy could think of what the Carnell Family could, because they all understood what it meant to be above a ’Four Tribulation Scattered Immortal’.
Four Tribulation Scattered Immortals are beyond what calamity-grade battleships can kill.
Not to mention those even stronger than Four Tribulation Scattered Immortals!
Considering this, the people of the Casster Galaxy, while thinking the Carnell Family’s actions were a bit shameful, didn’t ridicule them.
Because they knew, if they were the Carnell Family Clan Chief, they would do the same, and could only do so!
"Haha... The Carnell Family has kicked a steel plate this time!"
"I hope this mighty warrior, in a fit of anger, annihilates the Carnell Family... Then we’ll have one less opponent!"
...
The other two families in the Casster Galaxy, equal in fame to the Carnell Family, are hoping the purple-clad male cultivator in the projection could annihilate the Carnell Family in anger!
"I’ll give you a chance... order these seventeen calamity-grade battleships to open fire on me."
Wyatt Barnes glanced indifferently at Dar, who had his head lowered, and said, "I’ll give you five breaths... if you haven’t ordered them to open fire in five breaths, I’ll not only kill you but eradicate your Carnell Family!"
"Now, four breaths remain."
Wyatt’s voice pierced into Dar’s ears, causing the Carnell Family Clan Chief’s face to change drastically.
At the same time, Wyatt’s voice also spread through the projection into every corner of the Casster Galaxy.
"Madman! Madman!"
"Even if he’s a Four Tribulation Scattered Immortal, facing the attack from seventeen calamity-grade battleships, he’d be seriously injured, if not killed!"
"I think he might not be a Four Tribulation Scattered Immortal... He’s very likely stronger! Otherwise, how could he be so confident to push the Carnell Family Clan Chief to command those seventeen calamity-grade battleships to fire at him?"
"That’s true. So, he might be a ’Five Tribulation Scattered Immortal’?"
...
The people of the Casster Galaxy, stunned for a moment by Wyatt’s words, couldn’t help starting a frenzy of discussions.
Similar sentiments spread to every corner of the Casster Galaxy.
"What exactly is he trying to do?!"
"What’s the meaning of this? Self-abuse?"
...
The people of the Carnell Family were panicked; they couldn’t comprehend why Wyatt Barnes would do such things.
"This cultivator is very confident... It seems he’s not just a simple Four Tribulation Scattered Immortal!"
"I hope this cultivator could destroy all seventeen calamity-grade battleships of the Carnell Family in one go! Then the Carnell Family would be removed from the top three families of the Casster Galaxy! In the future, only two families would remain as the strongest in the Casster Galaxy."
...
The members of the other two families in the Casster Galaxy, equal in fame to the Carnell Family, were all gloating a bit.
"My lord..."
Dar looked at Wyatt Barnes, wanting to say something.
"One breath remains."
Wyatt’s tone turned icy, causing Dar to feel as if he had fallen into a frozen abyss.
In the next moment, he dared not hesitate, promptly ordering the seventeen calamity-grade battleships of the Carnell Family to open fire and attack Wyatt Barnes...
At this point, he no longer cared that Wyatt Barnes was holding him.
It seemed as if he hadn’t realized:
Once seventeen calamity-grade battleships opened fire, he would be completely exposed to battleship gunfire!
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
...
Almost at the same time Dar issued the command, the seventeen calamity-grade battleships received the order, which was immediately relayed to those controlling the battleships and spurred them into action.
A moment later.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
...
Laser cannons, electromagnetic cannons, super nukes, and other cutting-edge weapons of the Casster Galaxy were fully revealing their fangs before Wyatt Barnes!
